That’s the first thing that I notice in people. My gaze is very expressive and my smile contagious. I’m often told that my eyes are smiling, sparkling when I
smile, and that I have nice teeth! For me, smile and gaze are powerful tools for communication, seduction and confidence building with people I meet. It’s also in my opinion mainly through the
smile and gaze that the personality and sincerity of a person are transmitted with the most transparency.

There is another thing I really like in me, it’s not really my body but my voice. Deep, warm, jazzy. I find it very sexy for a woman (and I’m having a hard time
listening to high-pitched voices). My voice contrasts with my body and my short size, I find it funny to watch how people react the first time they hear it.

EN/What I like the least is my legs, but not because they are short, my shortness has never bothered me, on the contrary it tends to be useful
(people notice me and remember me easily). It’s rather the shapes of my legs, my hips a bit too large, disproportionate in comparison to the rest of my body which is quite thin. And mostly,
because they are a cellulite factory with a very thin skin that shows a whole network of unsightly blood vessels, stains etc.

It’s not a big issue as such, there is much worse of course but I don’t feel comfortable when I’m wearing shorts or swimsuits.

And there are also my arms that I don’t really like for the same reasons of proportions. I find them too big compared to the rest of my body or my thin waist
for example. Every time I’m wearing a tank top I look like a trucker (let me say here I have absolutely nothing against truckers!). For the same reason I forbid myself from wearing a bustier
(even if I love it on other people).

EN/Despite all I’ve said, I generally feel rather good in my body. I find it cute without being childish, I have a soft skin, shapes but not
too much, I’m small and light (yeah it has many advantages contrary to what people think), and my skin is naturally quite firm, which is cool considering I don’t do any sports. I’m also lucky
enough to have a body that is in good health and completely operational, I’m aware of that. I’ve always been mindful of my body, of its shape, it has always been part of who I am and how I
live.

EN/Obviously it’s firstly a means of transportation and actions. But for me a body is also the primary means of communication and expression,
sometimes even more than words. Often, a gaze says more about what we think or feel than what we can say or dare to say. Eyes are the windows to the soul.

The body is the first thing with see in someone, it’s what gives us the first impression, it’s what will make us attracted to someone on the first look, or not
(not speaking of seduction but just of the desire to go talk to someone). The body also says a lot, whether he/she feels comfortable with it or not, the posture, the attitude, the look, the
face’s expression can say a lot about a person, his/her character and personality.

The body is also what gives us self-confidence, or on the contrary what can make us loose it because of a complex, a malformation, a health issue etc. The body
can be a driver in our life giving us confidence or on the contrary a true obstacle blocking us physically or psychologically. I’m a makeup artist, I meet a lot of people that more or less
self-confident and more or less comfortable with their body. Makeup can help strengthen self-confidence because it sublimates the person making him/her feel more beautiful, more attractive. I
know a lot of models who became models to force themselves to accept their bodies and have more self-confidence, it worked for most of them.

The assessment we have of our body is mainly psychological. We are often the only people seeing the things we have complexes about. To feel better about your
body I think it’s important to keep in mind that what we see in magazines is not reality (and that the models we see on pictures doesn’t look like that in real life). Real bodies are those we see
in the street or at the beach. They have imperfections, the skin isn’t always smooth, they have marks, shapes, defects, scars, they are not linear or perfectly proportioned. It’s these
imperfections that make us unique and belong to our history. Without them we would all be the same and the world would be a sad place.

EN/Take care of your body, accept it and learn how to listen to it. Don’t try to please everybody, it’s impossible. It will only make you sad
and complexed. Try to please yourself before all. To feel good in your skin, watch yourself naked in the mirror without taking photoshoppped magazine pictures as a reference. Don’t consider your
body in respect to people’s opinion but for yourself. Yes, it’s hard, but if you feel good in your body, whatever its shape, it will be visible through your radiant and self-confident
personality, and it will be noticed! And that’s where you’ll feel comfortable with people’s glance. It’s not how you look but the attitude that you show that matters most
